Want to replace the generator with an alternator on my 62 GP, generator support arm end has a broken bolt off in head and I'm not pulling motor to fix

I bought an alt mounting bracket that was supposed to work off ebay but its way off toward the front.

I think its a 63 mtg bracket w ac I guess I need to swap the rest of the pulleys (2 groove crank and wp plus ps) with 63 ac pulleys unless anyone has a better idea.

I have the 63 add on crank pulley for ac already but need whatever makes this work

Thanks Jim

post a pic of the bracket.The A/C bracket is WAY diff than the 63 alt bracket W/O.Tom

The pic that Peter posted is the correct 63 bracket with out A/C!Tom

Alt bracket I purchased off eBay

Pic from left side. PS was running off the forward WP pulley and generator was running off the rear.

Pics from right side shows how far alignment is off

Jim,that is the non A/C bracket!The A/C bracket is much longer top to bottom.Good luck with your issue.Tom

You can see from right side pic that ps pulley lines perfectly with front groove on WP pulley. Generator was on rear of WP pulley. New Alternator is about an inch to far forward with the bracket I bought. I’ll take the bracket off tomorrow and take better pics

Thank you Tom. Something is wrong just not sure how to get it lined up.

Hey Tom, look how close the rear groove of my WP pulley is to the pump compared to yours. Yours is more forward.

Jim,get me a cell number and I will text you good pics!Tom

Jim!I see the diff!Im using a 63 8 bolt timing cover and water pump!Tom

[tom s]

Cant remember what I did when I used the 62 cover and 4 bolt water pump.Tom

[tom s]

my power steering is on the back of the water pump pulley!Tom

Sent you pm with my cell. My ps pulley lines up with the forward WP groove. My generator ran off the rearward groove. I think the 4 bolt WP is the problem.
